Word Counter Pro is the ultimate writing statistics tool for Mac. Whether you’re a student, author, editor, translator, or legal professional, this app gives you immediate access to detailed counts of words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and more.
Just paste your text or open a file and have Word Counter Pro watch it to report live changes. It’s fast, lightweight, and beautifully designed to integrate seamlessly into your workflow. You can also get stats for your selected text in practically any app using the "Get Stats from Word Counter Pro" macOS Service.
Key Features:
•Live word, character, sentence, paragraph, and line counts
•Analyze multiple files in a single operation
•Export stats for documents to separate files on disk
•Supports plain text, rtf, docx, and other common formats
•Ideal for writers, students, professionals, and teams
Word Counter Pro also allows you to apply custom settings. Some of the custom settings you can specify include: -Setting a custom page size for measuring line count. For accuracy, Word Counter Pro calculates the line count by measuring against a particular page size. -Changing the left and right margin of the custom page size, which also will impact the line count. -Enforcing a minimum number of sentences required for paragraph count. Most word processing software will incorrectly count titles and lines of text in headers as paragraphs, even though they are not part of the body of your document. Requiring a certain number of sentences per paragraph can result in a more accurate paragraph count, since dangling words are not counted as paragraphs.
Word Counter Pro allows you to view stats in six different ways:
1. You can type or paste text in the window.
2. You can drag and drop a supported text file to the window.
3. You can have Word Counter Pro watch a supported text file as you edit it in another application. When Word Counter Pro is watching a text file, a popover will appear in the menubar displaying stats that will be updated as you write.
4. Use the Word Counter Pro Action Extension. You can use the Word Counter Pro Action Extension to get stats of selected text in any app that supports Action Extensions (like Safari).
5. Select the “Get stats from Word Counter Pro” menu item from the Services menu on your selected text in practically any app on macOS.
6. Select a rtf, rtfd, txt, or docx file in Finder and choose the “Watch in Word Counter Pro” menu item from the Services menu.

VERY responsive company!

Writes for All Inc. released Word Counter Pro 2.0 with a new feature that allows blind typing with verbal word count under the Watch File tab. This is a feature I requested not long ago and was ecstatic to learn that this company’s app now is available to me with this adaptation!Thank you to the folks at Writes for All Inc.Contrary to some reviews here, I find this app remarkably useful as a writer. Well-worth the investment!
Would be great – if it counted footnotes

As a book editor, I need a program like this, but unfortunately the app ignores all text in footnotes/endnotes. Since I work with academic books, this makes the app useless to me. For those writing fiction, it might be fine, but even fiction can have notes sometimes. Disappointing.

this app does not show up under my subscriptions to cancel before the free trial ends like all my other apps. its proving difficult to unsubscribe and i still have not been able to cancel this;
Developer Response
The app does not show up under your subscriptions because it does not use subscriptions. When the free trial ends the app will notify you that your free trial period has expired and it will give you the opportunity to make a *one-time* in-app purchase to unlock the app but it *will not* automatically bill you.Apologies for the confusion. If you choose not to unlock the full version of the app after the free trial has ended then no action is required by you to avoid being charged.
total rip-off

It counts the words. So what? Every word processor already does that. MUCH too expensive for what it does.
Developer Response
Thanks for your feedback. In addition to counting words, Word Counter Pro allows you to get stats for supported document types from many different applications using the app's Action Extension and system Services. Word Counter Pro can also get stats for multiple documents in a single operation, while most word processing apps will show stats for the current document being edited only. Writers and translators find these features useful. Word Counter Pro supports other features as well. Please read the App Store description for more details. Feel free to reach out via the support link to provide feedback.
